OPERATION AND FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING CONDITIONS
The water heater and hot water storage tank shall only be used in accordance with the conditions specified on the power plate and in instructions for electric wiring. Besides legally acknowledged national regulations and standards, also conditions for connection defined in local electric and water works have to be adhered to, as well as the installation and operation manual. The temperature at the place of water heater (hot water storage tank) installation must be higher than +2 °C; and the room must not freeze. The appliance has to be mounted at a convenient place; it means that the appliance must be easily available for potential necessary maintenance, repair or replacement, as the case may be. If water is strongly calcareous we recommend that any of the common decalcifying devices was installed with the appliance, or that the thermostat was set to the maximum operation temperature of 55 °C (setting to position „OPTIMUM“) – Figure 20. For proper operation, drinkable water of adequate quality shall be used. To avoid potential sediments, we recommend that the water heater (hot water storage tank) was installed together with a water filter.

- After the water heater (hot water storage tank) is connected to electric network, the heating element starts heating water. The element is turned on and off by a thermostat. Thermostat can be set as per your need within the range from 5 °C to 75 °C. We recommend setting service water to maximum temperature of 60 °C. This temperature ensures an optimal operation of the water heater (hot water storage tank), reduces heat losses and saves electricity. After reaching the temperature set, the thermostat switches off the electric circuit and thus discontinues water heating. The control light signals if the element is in operation (light is on) or if it is off (the light goes out).
- When shutting the water heater (hot water storage tank) out for an extended period, in winter you can set the thermostat to the snowflake sign preventing the water from freezing or turn off the inlet of electricity to the heater (hot water storage tank).
- Connection, repairs, and wiring inspections may only be implemented by company (person) authorized to such activity. Expert connection must be confirmed on the warranty certificate.
- Installations in bathrooms, laundry rooms, rest rooms and showers, must be in compliance with the valid standard. Adhere to the protection against electric shock injury according to valid standard.
- The water heater (hot water storage tank) is connected to the electric network using a solid moving conductor with the circuit breaker (protector).
The degree of protection of electric parts of the heater is IP 44.

PLUMBING FIXTURE
Power water connects to pipes with 3/4″ thread in the bottom part of the water
heater (hot water storage tank). Blue – cold water supply, red – hot water
outlet. For potential disconnection of the water heater (hot water storage
tank), the service water inlets and outlets must be provided with screw
coupling Js 3/4″. The safety valve is mounted on the cold water inlet
identified with a blue ring. Each water heater (hot water storage tank) must
have a safety valve with a membrane spring. Nominal clearance of safety valves
is defined by standard. Heaters 300 l are supplied without safety valve. The
safety valve must be easily accessible, as close to the water heater (hot
water storage tank) as possible. The inlet pipes must have at least the same
clearance as the safety valve. Safety valve is placed high enough to secure
dripping water drain by gravity. We recommend mounting the safety valve onto a
branch pipe. This allows easier exchange without having to drain the water
from the heater. Safety valves with fixed pressure settings from the
manufacturer are used for the assembly. Starting pressure of a safety valve
must be identical to the maximum allowed water heater (hot water storage tank)
pressure, and at least 20 % higher than the maximum pressure in the water main
(Table 15). If the water main pressure exceeds such value, a reduction valve
must be added to the system. No stop valves can be put between the water
heater (hot water storage tank) and the safety valve. During assembly, follow
the guide provided by the safety equipment manufacturer. The cold water inlet
of each individually closable water heater (storage tank) must be fitted with
a seal, test tap or plug to check the non-return valve, as well as a non-
return valve and safety valve. Water heaters and hot water storage tanks with
a volume of more than 200 liters must also be fitted with a pressure gauge. It
is necessary to check the safety valve each time before putting it into
operation. It is checked by manual moving of the membrane from the seat,
turning the make-and-break device button always in the direction of the arrow.
After being turned, the button must click back into a notch. Proper function
of the make-and-break device results in water draining through the safety
valve outlet pipe. In common operation, such a check needs to be implemented
at least once a month, and after each water heater (hot water storage tank)
shutdown for more than 5 days. Water may be dripping off the drain pipe of the
safety valve; the pipe must be open into the air, pointed down; environment
temperatures must not drop below zero. When draining the water heater (hot
water storage tank), use the recommended drain valve. First, close the water
supply into the water heater (hot water storage tank).
Find necessary pressure values in the below – Table 15. For proper safety
valve operation, a backflow valve shall be mounted on the inlet pipes,
preventing spontaneous water heater (hot water storage tank) draining and hot
water penetrating back into the water main. We recommend that the hot water
distribution from the water heater (hot water storage tank) was as short as
possible to minimize heat losses. At least one demountable joint must be
mounted between the water heater (hot water storage tank) and every supply
pipe. Adequate piping and fittings with sufficiently dimensioned maximum
temperature and pressure values must be used.
Water heaters (hot water storage tanks) must be provided with a discharge
valve mounted on the cold service water inlet to the water heater (hot water
storage tank) for potential disassembly or repair. When assembling the
security equipment, follow the standard.

FURTHER INFORMATION
300 – 1000 liter capacity water heaters and hot water storage tank are screwed onto the bottom wooden palette with M12 screws. When the water heater (hot water storage tank) is released from the palette and prior to its putting into operation, 3 adjustable legs supplied as the product accessories have to be installed. With these legs, the water heater (hot water storage tank) may be positioned vertically to the base, within 10 mm.
FIRST COMMISSIONING
After connecting the water heater (hot water storage tank) to the water main,
electrical power system, and after checking the safety valve (following the
instructions attached to the valve), the water heater (hot water storage tank)
can be put into operation. Before opening the power supply, the tank must be
filled with water. The process of first heating must be executed by licensed
professional who has to check it. Both the hot water outlet pipe and safety
armature parts may be hot.
Procedure:
- a) Check the water main and wiring; Check proper placement of thermostat sensors. The sensors must be inserted all the way in; first the thermostat and then the safety fuse;
- b) Open the hot water valve on the combination faucet;
- c) open the cold water inlet valve to the water heater (hot water storage tank);
- d) when the water starts flowing through the hot water valve, the filling of the water heater (hot water storage tank) is finished and the valve needs to be closed;
- e) If a flange lid leak is discovered, the flange lid bolts need to be tightened;
- f) Fasten the electric installation cover;
- g) When commencing operation, flush the water heater (hot water storage tank) until the cloudiness in the water is gone;
- h) Make sure to fill in properly the warranty certificate.
CONNECTING A WATER HEATER AND HOT WATER STORAGE TANK TO THE HOT WATER SYSTEM
Figure 18
- Water heater (hot water storage tank) with volume exceeding 200 liters at the outlet hot water piping provide combined temperature and pressure safety fittings according to ČSN EN 1490, or the temperature safety fittings fitted with water temperature sensor placed in the heater or other safety valves DN 20, and the opening overpressure compliant with the maximum operating overpressure of the heater vessel. The safety valve does not replace the safety valve on the cold water inlet. No closing, return armature, and filter may be mounted between the water heater (hot water storage tank) and the safety valve.
HEATER CLEANING AND ANODE ROD EXCHANGE
- Repetitive water heating causes limestone sediment on both the enameled tank walls and chiefly the flange lid. Lime scale settling depends on hardness of heated water, its temperature and on the volume of hot water used.
- We recommend checking and cleaning the tank from scale and eventual replacement of the anode rod after two years of operation.
- The anode life is theoretically calculated for two years of operation; however, it changes with water hardness and chemical composition in the place of use. Based on such an inspection, the next term of anode rod exchange may be determined. Have a company in charge of service affairs deal with the cleaning and exchanging of the anode. When discharging water from the heater, the mixing valve battery for hot water must be open in order to avoid creating under pressure that would prevent water discharge.
- To prevent the occurrence of bacteria (e.g. Legionella pneumophila) within stack heating it is recommended, if absolutely necessary, to increase the temperature of hot service water (HSW) periodically for a transitional period of time to at least 70 °C. It is also possible to make use of another way of disinfecting HSW.

OPERATION OF THERMOSTAT
SERVICING
The thermostat and no other part of the control panel is not a bearing part that can be used for any handling with the heater.
TEMPERATURE SETTING
Water temperature is set by turning the thermostat knob. The desired symbol is adjusted against the fixed point on the control panel (Figure 20).
Adjusting the thermostat knob to the left backstop does not mean permanent shutoff of the heating element. When the heater is in use without blocking the daily rate, we do not recommend the temperature to be set above 55 °C. Select the „OPTIMUM“ symbol as the maximum.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
INSTALLATION REGULATIONS
- Without a proof issued by a professional company about performed electrical and plumbing fixture the warranty shall be void.
- It is necessary to check the protective magnesium anode periodically and replace it if necessary.
- No stop valves can be put between the water heater (hot water storage tank) and the safety valve.
- If the overpressure in the eater main exceeds 0.48 MPa, a reduction valve must be mounted before the safety valve.
- All outlets of hot water must be equipped with combination faucets.
- Before the first filling of water heater (hot water storage tank) it is recommended to tighten the nuts of the flange joint of the tank.
- It is not allowed to handle the thermostat, aside from temperature resetting with a control button.
- All electric installation handling, setting, and regulation feature exchange, may only be implemented by a service company.
- If you don’t use the water heater (hot water storage tank) for longer than 24 hours, or if the facility with heater is unattended, close the cold water inlet to the heater.
- The water heater (hot water storage tank) shall be used exclusively in accordance with the conditions specified on the performance plate and in the instructions for electric
wiring.
- Both the electric and water installation must follow and meet the requirements and regulations relevant in the country of use!
TRANSPORT & STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
- The device shall be transported and stored in dry place and protected from weather effects with temperature range from -15 to +50 °C. During loading and unloading the instructions stated on the packaging shall be observed.
- Due to the transport and thermal dilating, excessive enamel may fall of the water heaters (hot water storage tank) with exchangers on the tank bottom. This occurrence is common and has no effects on the heater’s service life and quality. The decisive enamel layer which remains in the vessel. DZD has many years of experience with this occurrence and it is not a reason for complaints.
DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING MATERIAL AND NON-FUNCTIONING PRODUCT
- A service fee for providing return and recovery of packaging material has been paid for the packaging in which the product was delivered. The service fee was paid pursuant to Act No 477/2001 Coll., as amended, at EKO-KOM a.s. The client number of the company is F06020274. Take the water heater packages to a waste disposal place determined by the town. When the operation terminates, disassemble, and transport the discarded and unserviceable heater to a waste recycling center (collecting yard), or contact the manufacturer.
ASSEMBLY GUIDE FOR ZIP-FASTENER INSULATION
- (Only concerns hot water storage tank with a capacity of 750 and 1,000 liters)
- Two people are enough to implement the insulation assembly; three people are required for the larger storage tank; the assembly must be implemented in areas with a temperature of at least 18 °C.
- If the insulation includes tank bottom insulation, the latter must be mounted first. The insulation is then inserted around the storage tank, respecting the pre-pressed insulation openings. By slight pull in the direction of the arrows, pull both sides of the zip-fastener insulation (Figure 21) so that the insulation does not slide and the insulation holes sit on the storage tank inlets and outlets. It must be secured that, before closing, both halves of the zip-fastener are not further than 20 mm (Figure 22) apart. No foam must get into the zip-fastener on closing.
- After the insulation coat is properly mounted and the zip-fastener closed, insert the top lid made of foam material and cover it with either a foil cover or a plastic lid.
- Alternatively, outlet caps can be glued on the connecting points (as indicated in Figure 23).
- The insulation must be stored in dry areas only.
- We take no responsibility for damages caused by not respecting this guide.
